Man Swallows Key, Locksmith Uses X-RayNebraska Man Swallows Friend's Truck Key, but Locksmith Uses X-Rays to Make a New OneThe Associated PressJun. 25, 2005 - Arthur Richardson thought he'd pull a prank and pretend to swallow a friend's truck key. Unfortunately, Wednesday's prank backfired when Richardson plopped the key in his mouth and gravity took over. Richardson went to a doctor Thursday, who X-rayed his stomach and got a clear picture of the key. The doctor said the key posed no danger, but Richardson's friend needed to use his truck.So Richardson and his friend took the X-rays to a locksmith, who used the pictures to fashion a new key. And it worked in the truck.John Somers, owner of Al's Lock and Safe, said he'd never made a key before from the image of an X-ray."I have done all sorts of lock work, I've done all sorts of safe work," Somers said. "This is truly a first in my career."Somers said he didn't have any immediate plans to set price rates for X-ray keys, but it's something he might consider.Copyright 2005 The Associated Press.
